The Submachine Gun (often abbreviated to SMG) is the secondary weapon for the Sniper class. It appears to be a heavily modified Mauser machine Pistol, with several parts resembling a WW2-era Submachine Gun.

This weapon deals a low amount of damage per round but has a high rate of fire and moderate accuracy (it fires 10 bullets per second). It enables the player to engage enemies at closer ranges in which the Sniper Rifle would be insufficient. The Submachine Gun suffers from a damage falloff over distance similar to the Pistol or Syringe Gun.

Like the Pistol and Revolver, the SMG fires a single, perfectly-accurate shot and then spreads, so long as the player firing it has waited 1.25 seconds between shots.

Trivia

• The Submachine Gun has a Normal weapon variant.
• The Submachine Gun is possibly a reference to Simo Häyhä, a Finnish Sniper who at the battle of Kollaa received a 200 kill count (in additon to those made by his Sniping) with a Suomi KP/-31 Submachine Gun. He is known to have most record of kills in any major war. Unlike the Sniper, Simo Häyhä used ironsights to better conceal his profile.
